    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Background

    Section 2206 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Act) establishes the WREP by amending section 1237A(h) of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3837a(h)). The Secretary of Agriculture delegated authority for WREP to the Chief of NRCS, who is Vice President of the CCC.

    Availability of Funding

    Effective upon publication of this notice, NRCS, on behalf of CCC, announces that a minimum of $25 million of financial assistance funds is available to accept high quality proposals under WREP in FY 2010. Under WREP, NRCS enters into agreements with eligible State and local governments, Indian tribes, and nongovernmental organizations. The reserve rights pilot of WREP (7 CFR 1467.9(b)) is implemented separately, and funds for the pilot are made available through the normal Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) allocation process. NRCS will announce, at the State level, when a pilot area has been selected for the reserved rights pilot and will provide enrollment information to landowners at that time.

    Overview

    WREP is a voluntary conservation program which is a component of WRP. WREP leverages resources of eligible partners to provide financial and technical assistance to eligible landowners to protect, restore, and enhance high priority wetlands and improve wildlife habitat. WREP partners are required to contribute a financial match of at least 5 percent of the acquisition or restoration costs toward the project. Proposals which include additional partner resources will be given higher priority consideration in the selection process. Contributions provided by the partners to achieve additional points can be in the form of technical or financial assistance for the protection, restoration, and enhancement of the wetland. They can also be used for management and monitoring activities. These contributions can be in-kind services or cash.

    WREP financial and technical assistance is delivered to eligible landowners in approved project areas through easement acquisition, conservation program contracts, cooperative agreements, contribution agreements, or Federal contracts. Restoration may be achieved through payments to other parties who conduct the restoration activities.

    Only States and local units of government, Indian tribes, and nongovernmental organizations are eligible to submit a proposal and enter into agreements with NRCS. A nongovernmental organization is an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Individual landowners may not submit WREP proposals through this submission process. However, once a WREP project has been approved and announced, eligible landowners may apply for WREP through their local NRCS office. As part of the agreement, approved partners may also help facilitate the submission of landowner applications, provide additional technical or financial assistance to landowners, and provide other resources as defined in the agreement.

    Written proposals are to be submitted by eligible partners, and project evaluation will be based upon a competitive process and the criteria established in this notice. Potential partners may submit WREP proposals for an individual landowner project, watershed, or geographic area to the appropriate State Conservationist. Once NRCS selects a partner's proposal, landowners within the selected project area may submit an application directly to NRCS for participation in WRP. Individual landowner applications will be evaluated and ranked among other applicants in the watershed or geographic project area, when applicable, to ensure that the properties selected for funding will achieve project objectives.

    Wetland restoration and enhancement actions will be designed to maximize wildlife habitat values and water quality according to the WRP regulation, 7 CFR part 1467, and NRCS standards and specifications. Proposals must conform to the WRP guidelines for restoration and management of lands subject to a WRP easement.

    Benefits to the partners in WREP agreements include:

    • Involvement in wetland restorations in high priority areas;
    • Ability to cost-share restoration or enhancement components beyond those required by NRCS;
    • Ability to participate in management or monitoring of selected project locations; and
    • Opportunity to utilize innovative restoration methods and practices.

    Proposal Requirements

    For consideration, the proposal must be in the following format and contain the information set forth below:

    (f) A description of non-Federal resources that will be available for implementation of the proposal. Proposals which include additional non-Federal resources will be given higher consideration in the selection process. The partner needs to state clearly how they intend to leverage Federal funds along with partner resources. Landowner contributions in the implementation of agreed-to wetland restoration and enhancement practices may not be considered any part of a match from the potential partner for purposes of WREP. Partners will also be required to submit a plan for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting progress made toward achieving the objectives of the agreement.

    (g) An estimate of the percentage of potential landowners, or estimate of the percentage of acres likely to be enrolled within the project area, compared to the total number of potential landowners or acres located in the project area. A statement on how the partner will encourage participation to guarantee success of the project. It is not necessary for a target area to involve multiple landowners to be selected. Projects will be evaluated based on the ecological merits of the proposal and contributions by the partners.

    (h) A statement describing how the partner will provide outreach, especially to encourage participation by Indian tribes, beginning farmers or ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, and limited resource farmers or ranchers.

    (i) A description of the wetland protection, restoration, and enhancement activities to be implemented during the project timeframe, and the general sequence of implementation of the project. Activities may include those efforts undertaken by the partner and those that the partner requests NRCS to address through financial support.

    (j) A description of the amount of funds needed annually for easement acquisition and wetland restoration and enhancement activities.

    Submitting Proposals

    Potential partners must submit a complete proposal to the appropriate NRCS State Conservationist by the date and time listed at the beginning of this notice addressing all items listed in the “Proposal Requirements” section of this notice. More than one proposal may be submitted. Potential partners should recognize that the proposal is the only document NRCS will use in the evaluation process. The proposal must include sufficient detail to allow NRCS to understand the partner's priority resource concerns, objectives, and expected outcomes. If a project is multi-State in scope, the proposal should be sent to the State Conservationist of the State in which the majority of the project area resides. Incomplete proposals and those that do not meet the requirements set forth in this notice will not be considered, and notification of elimination will be mailed to the applicant.

    The potential partner must submit five copies of the proposal, typewritten or printed on 81/2″ x 11″ white paper. One additional copy of the proposal must be in electronic format, such as Microsoft Word or PDF on one CD-ROM. If submitting more than one project proposal, submit a separate document for each project. The entire project proposal must not to exceed 15 pages in length including summary, responses to the information requested for the Project Natural Resource Objectives and Actions and Detailed Project Criteria, maps, reference materials, and related reports.

    State Conservationists may provide guidance to potential partners regarding resource concerns that may be addressed in the proposed project area, local working group and State Technical Committee natural resource priorities, and approved wetland restoration and enhancement practices and activities the partner should consider.

    Note:

    All WREP proposals submitted to the State Conservationist become the property of NRCS for use in the administration of the program, may be filed or disposed of by the agency, and will not be returned to the potential partner. Once proposals have been submitted to the agency for review and ranking, there will be no further opportunity to change or re-submit the proposal document.

    Acknowledgement of Submission and Notifications

    Partners whose proposals have been selected will receive a letter of official notification. Upon notification of selection, the partner should contact the NRCS State Conservationist listed in the letter to develop the required agreement and other project implementation requirements. Partner submissions of proposals that were not selected will be notified by mail.

    Withdrawal of Proposals

    Partner proposals may be withdrawn by written notice to the applicable State Conservationist at any time prior to selection.

    Partnership Agreements

    Upon proposal selection, NRCS will enter an agreement with a partner as the mechanism for partner participation in WREP. At a minimum, the agreement will address:

    (a) The role of the partner;

    (b) The role of NRCS;

    (c) The format and frequency of reports that are required as a condition of the agreement;

    (d) Plan of Work and budget to identify other funding sources (if applicable) for financial or technical assistance;

    (e) The specified project schedule and timeframe; and

    (f) Other requirements deemed necessary by NRCS to achieve purposes of the WRP.

    Landowner Application

    Landowners must meet the eligibility requirements of WRP, as published in 7 CFR part 1467. Landowners interested in participating may apply for designated WREP funds at their local service center after WREP proposals are selected. In FY 2010, NRCS will make WREP funds available to eligible landowners to enroll land under a permanent easement, a 30-year easement, or a 30-year contract on acreage owned by Indian tribes.

    NRCS and the partner may assist landowners in determining whether the application is appropriate for WREP depending on the wetland protection, restoration, and enhancement activities that the applicant seeks to install or perform.

    Land Eligibility

    The land eligibility criteria for WREP are the same as for WRP and are listed in 7 CFR § 1467. 4.

    Waiver Authority

    To assist in the implementation of WREP projects, the Chief may waive the applicability of the Adjusted Gross Income Limitation, on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with 7 CFR part 1400. Such waiver requests must be submitted in writing from the program applicant, addressed to the Chief, and submitted through the local NRCS designated conservationist.
